Equipment
  • 1 deep fryer
  • 1 wire rack
  • 1 separate pan
Ingredients
  
  • 1 pound of fresh chicken wings
  • Salt and pepper white or black to taste
  • 2 cups cornstarch or potato starch
  • Cooking oil for deep frying
  • 2 ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp crushed red chili peppers
Instructions
 
  • First, prepare your chicken wings by washing them thoroughly, patting them dry, and cutting them into 3 pieces each.
  • Season the wings with salt and pepper to your liking.
    Coat the seasoned wings in cornstarch or potato starch.
    Ensure they are fully covered in a thin layer of starch.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or a pot on medium heat.
    Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
    Carefully place the wings into the hot oil and fry until they achieve a golden brown color.
    This should take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove the wings from the oil and let them rest on a paper towel or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  • Add olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic in a separate pan on medium-high heat.
    Add in the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), water, rice vinegar, salt, pepper and crushed red chili peppers.
    Simmer this sauce for approximately 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  • Toss the wings in the sticky sauce to evenly coat them.
    Serve your San Tung Chicken Wings alongside your favorite dipping sauces or as a standalone dish.
    Enjoy!
